Just got s-off on my DNA but installing a custom Rom makes the phone randomly freeze and reboot. Tried CM11, carbon, and a few others. The time before restarting varies wildly from 10 seconds after boot to 20-30 minutes. It seems more frequent when the screen is on or when plugged into my PC but I could just be imagining things or could be coincidence.
I have flashed and rommed many phones over the years and this one really has me stumped.
I cleared the cache and dalvik and formatted the system partition before installing the Rom and gapps. I have tried multiple roms and multiple versions of gapps as well with no luck. I have superCID of 11111111 from the original unlock process if that makes any difference. I have currently RUUd back to 3.06 for now and it seems perfectly stable on the stock Rom. Any help would be appreciated!

check my thread in the same section, mine started doing this two nights ago. I don't know why it started, my phone was fine prior to this. I did nothing to it, had been running Venom for a while, and two nights ago it started rebooting randomly and wildly. I have switched ROMs twice since then and it has not stopped. Like you said, it tends to be when the screen is on or gets plugged up. But unfortunately mine is doing it a lot on answering phone calls. I don't know if we are having same issure or what.
Possibly

I don't know if we are having the same issue it may be that we are though. I am on stock 3.06 not one reboot since I went to work this morning. Get home, install the newest twrp (it is removed in the RUU process), install cm11 snapshot m5, and the appropriate gapps. I got through setup to the point of adding my gmail and it froze and rebooted. I tried cwm recovery too but it made zero difference
TBH my screen is shattered really bad and I was going to replace it but I don't want to if I have to run stock roms forever. I was running one of the original Venom roms before s-off was possible, but then I broke the screen and switched back to my droid bionic but now I can afford the new LCD so I want to get this one running

Did you use the proper recovery stated in the thread to flash the rom, have you installed any new apps recently? Does it happen when you run the phone in safemode? Have you tried Performing an RUU and the unlocking and installing a custom rom again?
Did all that

I have done all of that stuff multiple times
I haven't installed any apps at all on it. This phone is basically brand new, I got it right when they launched. I shattered the screen like 3 days after I got it, and tucked it in a drawer. It has been sitting there ever since.
I have another piece to add to the puzzle. While it has the stock ROM installed it seems to get service and work just fine, but when I install the custom ROMS it has absolutely zero cell connectivity (though WiFi works fine.)
Going into the settings reveals that on the custom roms it shows the IMEI and MEID as Unknown, and the ICCID is listed as Unknown as well. If I try to change the network mode (to LTE/CDMA or any one of the many available options) it says com.phone has crashed.
After the RUU process I have my proper MEID and ICCID showing in the settings panel, and service returns.
Can't flash radio?
After discovering the issues with the service while on custom ROMS I wondered if the radio had something wrong with it.
I tried to manually reflash the radio via fastboot (fastboot flash radio radio.img).
I tried this both in standard fastboot as well as in the rebootRUU mode, but both times I get an error that says remote not allowed. Could my bootloader somehow still be locked? The flag in bootloader mode says "Unlocked" but I unlocked manually after obtaining s-off rather than doing it officially via HTCdev. just trying to explore all options
My phone did that at one point. I had to re-lock and RUU back to 100% stock. I then unlocked my phone with Rumrunner S-Off tool. Flashed a Sense 6 ROM and has been working fine since.
Fixed!
So this problem is fixed!! I am not 100% sure what did the trick, so I will post my solution here in case anybody else experiences a similar issue. I won't go into too much detail with these instructions as all the tools are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I first downgraded to the 1.15 hboot and radio. I had to rebootRUU and flash them there as it can't be done directly in fastboot as far as I know.
Do them one at a time (flash the hboot, then reboot-bootloader, then rebootRUU then flash the radio, then reboot bootloader again.)
After doing this I tried to run the RUU exe but it came up with an error that it could not update my phone, so I did the manual Alt 3.06 RUU.
This seemed to work great, restarted the phone and saw the stock rom. I then changed from superCID 11111111 back to the stock CID, relocked my bootloader went back to s-on status. At this point I ran the RUU.exe again just to make sure everything was as stock as could be.
Got that all finished, ran RumRunner again, installed CM11 and no reboot for nearly 24 hours. Pretty sure all is well!

Good news and bad news. The good news is for you!!! I think I figured out what the problem was. It seems to be an issue either with using an older radio, or an older hboot on a newer ROM. I don't know why exactly, but the RUU process was not properly updating my radios. This may be because I ran an RUU while unlocked at one point (every guide I see is very adamant about relocking before the RUU process.)
The bad news is that I ordered a new LCD for my DNA, and I ruined my phone trying to do the repairs. It is by FAR the worst phone I have ever had to work on. I have replaced LCD's in Galaxy devices, Iphones/ipod touches, laptops, TV's, and one in a smartwatch and have never hurt a thing. Got my DNA back together and it flat out wont turn on I don't know what the problem is, but something is fried. Hope you have better luck than me!

Well here is the issue, I bought the HTC Thunderbolt awhile ago. I then rooted my phone but left the original ROM on it since the custom roms were not stable. I noticed verizon was pushing me some update and I just ignored them. I woke up today to see my phone rebooted with the screen on an exsclamation point. And then my Thunderbolt keeps rebooting itself now. I tried going into ROM Manager to download a Custom ROM but the phone just reboots before I can do it. I just installed Liquid Gingersense v1.6 rom with the MR2 OTA Radio which said it installed just fine after installing the Liquid Gingersense rom. I went through setting up the google account fine and after it booted to the main screen now my phone boots all over again, get stuck at htc screen for a bit then loads the phone fine then boots again. I am really not sure what the heck is going on. I am new to the MR2 OTA Radio since I cam from the Droid 1. So I hope it was not the install order I did it. I Have turned off the phone booted it with still same rebooting over and over issue. If anyone has idea's please let me know. Much appreciated. Thanks
I'm in the same boat. I have wiped the SD card and done a factory reset on the phone. It is no longer rooted, as I can't install and run apps requiring root permission. The update fails every time it tries to install, I also get the exclamation point android screen when the update tries to install. I'll take the update, I don't care. I just want a reliable phone again.
I'm seeing this issue come up a lot. Some of you folks seem pretty upset by it, and reasonably so. Search through the threads and you'll find you solution.
For those who are STILL running that antique and wildly obsolete ROM that the jcase rooting process leaves you with, I'd like to set a few facts before you. First of all, that ROM wasn't provided as a long-term daily driver. It's OLD and it's not very efficient with the battery. Second, simply because it's stock doesn't mean it's inherently stable. It's probably less stable than the custom ROMs out there. Third, the only ROMs really struggling with stability were the 2.01 RUU gingerbread builds. That build is obsolete, but not nearly as obsolete as the ROM that the rooting process leaves you with. The stability issues with the second OTA had nothing to do with the ROM, but rather, the radio that came with the RUU. In short, it's foolhardy to believe that custom ROMs are somehow inherently dangerous or unstable.
I'd like to suggest to whoever might be running the rooted ancient ROM the rooting process leaves you with to abandon it at your earliest convenience. Flash an MR2 radio, and if you like stock, use the stock rooted debloated ROM based on the 1.70 RUU. If you decide not to do this, and your phone auto-accepts the update, you'll probably lose everything on the phone trying to get it working again. Save yourself that hassle. Flashing ROMs isn't hard and people do it everyday.
So, I was running NeoMax 2.0 for the most part without any problems. I swapped batteries like normal and then the phone started bootlooping, never leaving the HTC screen. I put the regular battery back in and still had the same problems. I had been planning to switch rooms soon anyways, so I decided to flash Neo's AOKP. That ran fine except for that I had no wifi and data would mostly stay on 3G. I tried to do a nand restore to the last working version of NeoMax and the bootlooping continued. I tried to flash the latest ruu and that also had me bootlooping. Going back to AOKP worked just fine but again, no good data connection. Any ideas aside from getting a new phone?

going to need some information from you:
are you s-on or off?
what firmware are you on?
what hboot are you on?
question can be answered by turning off the phone. boot the phone up but hold vol- and power. type all the information in the top left corner

Current:
S-OFF
Kernel: Snuzzo's Funky v1.3
Rom: Neo's AOKP v1.5 Linaro
Radio: 2.22.10.0801, 2.22.10.0803
HBOOT: 2.27
I am s-off with hboot ver 2.27. The last RUU I flashed was 4.03.605.2 from micromod's thread here. I believe that I used version 1.2. I followed his instructions first flashing the firmware, then recovery, then the ota global plus. This was the same firmware that I was originally on before I left NeoMax2.0. It kept bootlooping so I flashed Neo's AOKP again. Both his AOKP and AOSP work just fine besides the data problem. I also flashed snuzzo's funky kernel v1.3 and it didn't help. So currently I'm stuck in AOKP/AOSP with only 3g data speeds. Should I try flashing an older RUU?
once my phone charges up, i'm going to flash the stock 3.14 ruu. i'll check back and let you know if it worked.
it's a no go. flashed the 3.14 ruu from shippedrom.com and kept boot looping. sometimes it would get to the 2nd htc splash screen but it wouldn't actually get to the rom. fresh out of idea's, could use your magic synister!
hmm sounds like what happened to me i found a thread where they said that when running the .2 global ruu you need to flash it twice in a row ( i did battery pulled when it was ready to reboot then went back into boot loader) and do a factory reset all from the boot loader before you install recovery and then boot rom they say it helps with data problems worked for me anyway

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it out tonight. I'm thinking that maybe I will try to flash the global that originally came with my phone. I can't remember the exact one, but I think it was the gb version just before ics came out. I'll post an update with the results.
hmm looks like you have the right radios and hboot or anyway its the same as i have but it still wouldn't hurt to start over the only reason i say something is because i skipped the factory reset in boot loader and i had data problems im not the smartest android on the block here...lol so i try not to tell people stuff that i dont know about that well just what worked for me
And flash Neo's CM9 RAGE rom (aka funky symbol rom).
AOKP has issues where you can lose 4G by going into network settings, CM9 apparently does not. Also, make sure your network mode is set to the one that supports several different data modes, even if you don't get them. Trying to use the one that just says CDMA/LTE prevents 4G signal.
And just FYI, you can run neomax 2 on top of the global firmware, you just can't use it as a true global phone since it is an older rom.

Ok, I know some other people posted about black screen but all the other threads seem to be about it happening after a call.
Mine happens when the phone been sitting for a while with the screen off (and it's not all the times) it seems more prone to it if the screen been off for longer times.
I tried two different roms with two different kernels both have the cpu idle speed setup at 384 or more. As soon as I flash they seem to work ok but after a day or so the freaking black screen comes back. I also have pimp my rom installed with the "no black-screen after a call" tweak ticked.
I've went through the process of unrooting going all the way back to stock and start from the beginning all the way from unlocking the bootloader to S-off.
Downloaded fresh copies of the roms zip files
I don't think it's any of the apps since this does not start right away it takes a day or so after everthing been runing (but I might be wrong).
Obviously it's not the rom or the kernel since it does it with two different ones, what else is there that can be messing with my phone???
It's driving me crazy!!!!
Can it be hardware related????
I'm lost with this, and started thinking on a new phone already but I can't buy it until mid 2013 so I don't want to give up yet (actually can't).
This been working just fine up until a month ago or so, it's just now that the black screen started harrasing me.
Edit: It just happened again and since I could not get the screen up, I decided to pull the batt and when I turned the phone on again I got the vibration but the screen didn't light up during booting at all until I pressed the button few times.
Could my screen be dying?

have you ever considered its the tweaks your doing to your phone.. have you tried just flashing the rom and running it without doing the tweaks... not every phones hardware is identical so not all tweaks might work... ive flashed a rom recently that experienced some boot loops after doing some tweaks to the rom, and now im running that rom flawlessly without any tweaks...
---------- Post added at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
you might also want to try the rom with the default kernel that comes with the phone not faux which i'm assuming your using
To be honest, no I haven't thought of that.
I just re flashed everthing, if the problem starts again I'll remove all the tweaks.
But the thing is the phone was working well and one day without changing anything it started with this. But I'll try removing the tweaks if this persist
Thanks,
Nope, it wasn't the tweaks.
Fresh flash, no tweaks and I still have to press the on button many times to get the screen to turn on
which rom are you using again?
I'm on NRG blue but I tried the Bulletproof for a while and it did it too that's why I'm thinking that is not rom related. It has to be something deeper than the rom.
Phone was working great until last month that I travelled abroad.
As soon as I got to the country I was visiting I put a local sim card and it took me a while to be able to boot, to the point that I had to restore from a backup.
Then during the time I was there I had several random reboots (like once or twice a day).
When I came back I swapped the sim again and no more reboots but after a week or so I started with this black screen problem, it was really bad to the point when sometimes I needed to pull the battery off to see if that helped and the rom got really screwed (I think sense got screwed because the screens were doing weird things). So I reflashed, it fixed all the weird things but not the black screen.
Now it's not as bad (I only need to press 3 or 4 times the button) and it's not alway, only if the screen been off for a while but my previous experiencest tells me that it will get worse in few days time...
okay i have a few suggestions.. do you do a full wipe when you flash a rom? wipe data/factory then format system then wipe cache partition's then wipe delvik cache.. and you should try going back to stock completely then trying a different rom and see.. its about testing all possibilities before coming to the conclusion your phone is damaged somehow
yes I always do a full wipe and/or the 4ext wipe and clear dalvik and cache. Not sure about the factory reset since I wasn't sure where that would take me.
you should try going back to stock completely

Do you mean relock, S-ON and goall the way to GB? or to ICS T-mous stock??? I did go to ICS (this one) http://d-h.st/3VD but I can do it again (I can alway use some practice with these procedures...)
I
you dont have to S-ON again i mean Stock ICS from your carrier.. and stock Ruu's are located in my signature if that link is one you got from there go right ahead... and try and flash back to stock, if you need instructions let me know

I did that yesterday and yes the ruu Iused is the same as the one listed there as most recent.
I just found an interesting discusion on the faux kernel thread about a problem, with the earlier version (which is the one I was running when the whole thing started) and that happened to me before this black screen.
This is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=232 and it's mentioned in the quote on post #2316 and ahead.
I PM'd AJ to see if he thinks this could be related since in one of his posts he said something like reverting to stock won't help (for some reason)
but overall from what i just read... the issue seems to be related to the faux kernel.. i only flashed it once but ii didnt do any tweaks,, i mostly use the stock kernel that comes with most of the rom's i flashed... here's what to try... in 4ext wipe all partitions except sd card, then wipe both sd card partitions internal and external.. toggle usb storage and flash this super wipe script in recovery.. then flash a different rom and don't flash faux.. test the rom out to see if your problem occurs again.. or flash the super wipe then place the ruu on the SD card then attempt to flash back to stock

I'll try it.
Thanks,
Tried that and didn't help, but thanks for the suggestion.
What I noticed today is that since Icouldn't get the screen on no matter how many times I pressed the darn button I pulle dhte batt out and then rebooted the phone to see if that helped and even though I got the little vibration confirmation when the phone boots up there was no white HTC splash screen or bootanimation whasoever, anyway since I could still not get the screen on I tried the same thing a few time and then once I finally managed to the the screen on I said int the bottom left corner SAFE MODE (never seen that one before). I'm running Bulletproof reloaded now.
Oh and the batt was kind of low (may be 20%).
Wow!!!! I do own a very messed up phone!!!
Today this piece of crap threw a total temper tantrum.
Would nos turn the screen on no matter what. I removed the batt and not even rebooting to the point that when I finally got it to boot it had an internal SD error. It didn't allow me to format, wipe or partition it from bootloader or recovery.
Now I'm at home so I flashed stock RUU (again) and it seems like its running one more time but I was really close to throw it over the cliff where I was Flying my RC gliders.
We'll see if I can make it last a bit longer...
so its working once again, cuz you said you flashed back the stock ruu right?
Yes,it's alive (will for how long this time). I flashed stock a couple of times , I unlocked once again, flashed 4ext, flashed JP hboot, superSU, NRG rom, supersu again (since IO wasn't sure in which order I should have done this) flash rom 2nd time, flashed Faux's v 24 (twice) and Downloaded most of the apps clean from Gplay.
I'm getting a lot of practice with this, who knows, may be one day I become good at it
its good your practicing now, but don't forget to do backups before you flash anything to your phone, this this way you'll have a stable install to restore back to incase anything goes wrong again
I been doing more tests and yesterday I run it on stock most of the day with no apparent issues, then I restored the NRG rom from a backup and still no issues so I started to think it was something I messed up flashing the JB Hboot, I moved to a bulletproof rom and decided to do another test.
I sat on the phone as to block signal and the issue came back.
Now I'll try the same with NRG, yep it seems like it's when the phone loses signal the screenwon't come back afterwards.
I'll try the same in stock rom next...
Yes, it did it in stock too but not so bad, it seems like after few attempts the screen worked againgvs. on bulletproof didn't
Ok, I found this in some other thread...
[QUOTE8. Black Screen - Phone will not wake-up
I'm accidentally find out and solved the problem of Black Screen during in-coming call (BulletProof 2.2.0). By replacing the service.jar from the previous version (BulletProof 2.1.0) with the intention to get rid of the CRT file in my system, by doing this I am also discovered that the black screen problem is gone. However, this problem can be easier solved by simply dis-able the screen-on/off animation setting instead of replacing the service.jar with the one from previous build which doesn't have CRT.
It's worth to be note that during my old days with the HTC HD2 running Nandroid I've encountering similar problem of black screen when waking up the phone and it was caused by the CRT as well. This, at least happened to me with more than 3 Rom, including the famous AmeriCanAndroid, HyperDroid and Tytung's ...
So if you are experiences Black Screen problem, please check to see if you did flashed the CRT and/or enable it? ][/QUOTE]
Can somebody tell me to how do I check this?
Thanks,
Have a VZW DNA, currently on Hatka 3.0.3. S-Off, latest radio, stock 2.04 kernel. Twrp
Shortly before I flashed the new radios, I had a problem that whenever I tried to connect a call, whether incoming or outgoing, com.android.phone or.. process.acore?? would force close. I can't remember what the exact name of the acore force close was. Anyway.
I was pretty sure I fixed the problem before I flashed the new radios, but either way, I have the problem again. And, I have noticed that after the force close, the SIM seems to reset. Get a toast message for preparing the SIM card.
It makes no difference whether its the stock dialer, or a third party like Go Contacts. Third party apps don't force close, just go back to whatever I was doing before I tried to connect the call.
I tried flashing the viper with both dsb's stock and cubed kernel with viper to no avail. I haven't tried RUU, or old radios simply because I haven't had time to back up.
Any ideas before I do RUU?

I had the same issue today between 2 and 3, but it wasn't letting me send texts even though I could receive them. Maybe a network hiccup?
I am on stock radios, didn't know new ones came out. It is working for me now.
in the same boat
looks like we're in the same situation. I looked through the threads and this is another case of call errors. I found this thread and one other, not sure if it was droid dna related.

Have a VZW DNA, currently on Hatka 3.0.3. S-Off, latest radio, stock 2.04 kernel. Twrp
Shortly before I flashed the new radios, I had a problem that whenever I tried to connect a call, whether incoming or outgoing, com.android.phone or.. process.acore?? would force close. I can't remember what the exact name of the acore force close was. Anyway.
I was pretty sure I fixed the problem before I flashed the new radios, but either way, I have the problem again. And, I have noticed that after the force close, the SIM seems to reset. Get a toast message for preparing the SIM card.
It makes no difference whether its the stock dialer, or a third party like Go Contacts. Third party apps don't force close, just go back to whatever I was doing before I tried to connect the call.
I tried flashing the viper with both dsb's stock and cubed kernel with viper to no avail. I haven't tried RUU, or old radios simply because I haven't had time to back up.
Any ideas before I do RUU?

I am running 3.0.3 now. I was running Viper until the big man published 3.0.3, then i switched back. But even on Viper I was getting the same COM.PHONE.ANDROID has stopped error.
Cheers!

I had the same issue, actually was getting soft reboots upon receipt of an incoming call, happened to me after s-off. It took a bit of fiddling, but I finally got back up and running 100% by flashing stock kernel and a clean ROM install.

You went back to S-ON or just a different kernel?

com.android.phone .. but I still get my txt messages, go figure. I think my partitions may be in rare shape from rom's, kernals, and all the other numerous changes. Never been the same after I got error 7 on schatka 3.0.2, I switched back and forth from viper/hatka and twrp/cwmr
I took my phone into Verizon yesterday, explained the situation. Told them it started after ota, and I had done a factory reset already. They tried a new SIM card to no avail, overnighting a new phone.

Forgot about this post, sorry. Did not go back to s-on, just flashed stock kernel from here: http://d-h.st/Ma1, boot.img via fastboot and then the modules zip contained within in recovery, and everything was good.
This didnt work for me . Any other suggestions?

Basically I hd the same situation happen to myself, no calls or data but wifi was good. Mine started to fail slowly , firs \t it was showing a 1X connection but dl were about 3G speeds. Next I lost signals in areas I never had signal issues with. Then total loss. New sim card and spent hours on the support line and a replacement unit.
Got a PM request for assistance, and thought I don't have a lot of tips to offer other than what I provided before, I'm going to post a more detailed overview (as I remember it, it's been awhile...) in case it's helpful for any other who may come across it later. The bottom line for me was that once things broke, it didn't work again until I flashed stock kernel via fastboot +modules in recovery and did a clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense launcher. That said, because of my flashing compulsion and failure to fully test things once installed, I can't pinpoint the exact step at which things broke.
Initially, I: Bought phone and factory reset, did not take Verizon OTA. Fiddled around, hated Sense, unlocked, flashed recovery, flashed Viper 1.1.0 (?, whatever the base was), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense, wiped data, flashed 3 subsequent Viper updates (1.1.1,2,3 maybe?), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense. Wiped and reinstalled de-Sensed Viper a few times in an attempt to get rid of Sense as much as possible.
Then things get murky. I did s-off, and at some point flashed (recovery) a kernel, Cubed I think. Wifi or something was borked (as I understand is the case with Cubed/Viper), and I flashed stock kernel back via recovery (no modules, I didn't catch that part at the time) and restored my backup for good measure, leaving me on fully functional Viper 1.1.3. Everything worked for a few days, but I continued to hate Sense, and began searching for something more sensible. At some point I flashed Hatka 3.03 w/ de-Sensed options, went to 320 DPI, and thought everything was fine for about 18 hours until I realized my phone was warm, and figured out it was rebooting every time I received (or placed) an incoming call (boss was pissed and kept trying to call me, already gives me a hard time about being an Android fanboy so I'm never going to hear the end of that). After a few hours of fiddling and various recovery attempts including restores and full wipe/clean installs of Viper, I finally managed to get things up and running with A. flashing stock kernel via fastboot + modules in recovery and a full wipe/clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense + Xperia launchers and eventually a 380 DPI.
One of or some combination of the s-off/custom kernel/failure to reinstall stock kernel modules/de-Sensed/low DPI/pin lock/Widget Locker/Viper combo I had going fouled something up, which I know is not entirely helpful. If I found myself in this situation again, I would flash stock boot.img via fastboot + modules in recovery, and probably flash a stock ROM to rule out anything else, then wipe and flash things from there until I got where I wanted or it broke.
For the record, I'm now back on my Galaxy Nexus until stable-ish CM 10.1 is within sight or I get tired of waiting and sell the thing, I just can't tolerate Sense.
same issue
I've been reading wherever I see this topic and haven't found the answer that I'm looking for. Have tried everything said but nothing has fixed my problem can't make or receive calls. This problem happened after I turned s-off have relocked boot loader, flashed RUU, reset factory, re-unlocked bootloader, re-flashed different roms, and flashed radios still not working. No doubt it is a software issue. Does anyone know how to format internal storage on this phone. My thinking is if that can be done problem should go away and then can re-flash to stock. Any help would be most appreciated.

Have you tried fixing permissions? In some other post I read phone process force closing was just a matter of wrong permissions.
In other hand I think if you format system, data and cache the phone storage would just keep hboot and recovery; at that point you could only run RUU to stock or adb sideload from recovery if your CWM version has the feature.

still problem
Yes have fixed permissions. Also have formatted everything I could in CWM still have problem. Is there a way to format with ADB commands?
So tonight I've run into an issue that confounds me. I am a veteran flasher of roms and kernals and never have I found myself so stuck.
I did the following:
1. I applied Facepalm S-Off to my phone earlier and it worked fine, data still worked.
2. I later went to flash Beastmode. I was running Cubed and forgot to reset to stock before flashing.
3. My phone wouldn't boot. So I flashed back Cubed with Fastboot, and the phone boots.
The issue is that now I have no radio. I see the Verizon Wireless on the lockscreen and there are bars on the top bar, however whenever I try to make a call, it says call ended unexpectedly (paraphrase) and whenever I send a text it says SMS Problems. I have wifi, but I need my phone to work as a phone! It also says "Preparing SIM" every few minutes. Any ideas what could be wrong here?
I am currently on NOS N7 with the included Beastmode Kernel.
Thank you in advance for helping me out! I'm a little lost here.
I really hate to bump things, but I need a phone that is... well a phone. If anyone can help that would be great. I am going to have to go to Verizon if not. I have reset everything including unlock flags to stock in preparation of that sad reality.
flash a stock rom and different kernel

Return to lock using "fastboot oem lock"
Download HTC DROID DNA’s RUU.exe, this is a stock firmware by HTC, which contain radio, systems and bootloader.
make sure that your phone is being detected by your computer. then reboot it into bootloader. When you see Fastboot USB in the middle section run the ruu.exe on your computer.
This should repair bootloader and radios.

Thanks for your answer. I've tried return to stock with success and now my phone is in full stock state but it keeps showing preparing sim card every two or three minutes exactly as it was before. When I switch the phone to 2g the problem is gone, I bought this phone online and I'm a gsm user so I own the most expensive 2g phone in market.
Phone was perfectly working in all roms and almost every kernel, the problem came up just when I flashed beastmod 4.3 kernel then I went into bootloops and I flashed stock kernel and it booted since that I've been with this issue. I'm gonna try different sim cards because I don't believe this is a software issue anymore.
